This is apparently a view of some of the damage from the Black Tom munitions explosion of July 30, 1916, eventually held to be an act of German sabotage.
A very similar photo is used with the following caption in a blog entry on Black Tom:
"This view shows the wreckage of buildings on the pier at Black Tom Island, part of Jersey City, N.J., following the explosion of a munition plant set off by German saboteurs, July 1916. The pier is opposite the Statue of Liberty in the New York Harbor. (AP Photo)"

Seems those are Hudson River barges in the foreground. From some searching around, part of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehigh_Valley_Railroad . These folks www.waterfrontmuseum.org/home seem to have one as the home for their museum.
